MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Another West Virginia University fraternity has been placed on interim suspension due to allegations of hazing.
The WVU Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities took action against the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity following an independent ongoing investigation that was initiated after a tip was received from the WVU Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
The interim suspension will remain in effect until the allegations are addressed through a formal hearing or other disposition.
During the interim suspension, members of the Delta Sigma Phi chapter are, among other sanctions, prohibited from participating in, attending, or organizing social functions as a chapter or hosting or co-hosting social activities at another location.
All recruitment and new member class programs are also suspended immediately, and Delta Sigma Phi is prohibited from participating in university-sponsored programming.
Delta Sigma Phi has five days to appeal the sanctions.
Earlier this year, Lambda Chi Alpha and Pi Kappa Alpha were placed on interim suspension following a hazing investigation. Police removed several bags of evidence from the houses; however, no details about the investigation have been released.
